Re: It's A Wonderful Life... |
The music isn't the main issue: the film is based on a Philip Van Doren Stern's short story
The Greatest Gift, for which the copyright was renewed:
The greatest gift. © 20Dec43;
AA446178. Philip Van Doren Stern
(A); 10May71; R505822.
Paramount holds the exclusive film rights to the still-copyrighted story and have been restricting distribution of the film, a derivative work from the story, on that basis.
Charade (1963) is in the
same situation.
